    “I was first introduced to Alicia at a hospitality event which she was a featured speaker. Her ability to articulate the most important aspects that every hospitality business should be cognizant was so well articulated. Eventually, I sought out Alicia to help me build a stronger foundation for our future. She is an obvious expert in hospitality law but what I most appreciate about Alicia is her integrity and ability to communicate recommended next steps and the level of risks for not taking action. Alicia epitomizes an example of how all of us should serve our clients!”
